Hillary Clinton Comes Home
Illinois Review ^ | June 2, 2010 A.D. | John F. Di Leo

Posted on 06/02/2010 7:23:55 AM PDT by jfd1776

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton (D, Whitewater) has come full circle. After beginning her career as a radical campus activist in the 1960s and 1970s (supporting the Black Panthers in murder cases, joining the Left’s successful effort to bring down a bad president on violations that the current administration exceeds on a daily basis), she appeared to moderate during her alleged husband’s presidency in the 1990s.

She then walked a very fine line between her party’s left and center during her U.S. Senate career and her 2008 run for the White House. But now she’s come home to Beijing, home to Havana, home to Wellesley, with her May 2010 speech at the Brookings Institute, in which she touched on the role of “the rich” in the current economy.

“The rich are not paying their fair share in any nation that is facing the kind of employment issues [America currently does], whether it’s individual, corporate, or whatever taxation forms,” haughtily declared the current Secretary of State of the United States of America.

Would any prior Secretary of State have said such a thing? George Washington’s first Secretary of State, Thomas Jefferson, served as lead author of our Declaration of Independence, in which our Founders declared war on the then most powerful nation on earth – over excessive taxation. And then when Secretary Jefferson later became President himself, James Madison served as his Secretary of State – James Madison, a lead organizer of our Constitutional Convention, in which he and his colleagues carefully structured this government specifically to minimize its ability to tyrannize and destroy through oppressive taxation.

Bill and Hill were staunch supporters of Arafat’s PLO long long before the world came to realize just how murderous they were. Bill and Hill knew from the start.

Hillary's solution is always the same - raise taxes!

Would any prior Secretary of State have said such a thing?

No. But see, the thing to remember about Hillary is that she is not that bright.

She certainly is one of the big rich. The rich have ways and means to create trusts, foundations, etc. , foreign bank deposits etc.. Of course they always mean someone else than themselves.

Like congress ... if they had to have the same medical care plan as the Medicare health plan they created for the people it would change the peoples plan quickly, and the same with their retirement benefits. It is astounding how they have provided ‘ultra rich’ retirements for their selves and their spouses. Truly LORDING it over the people because they make the legislation.

God help us in our day, in Jesus name, amen.

No. Most prior Secretaries of State were not Marxists. And if they were, they still wouldn't have said such a thing, because tax policy not the role of Secretary of State.

I guess she was drinking again.

She is Sooooo much more ultra-red than people want to imagine. I have herd credible reports that in the 1970s she was in the Venceremos Brigade that went to Cuba to cut sugarcane.
